Baby Jesus Birthday Cake

Really, this is just a chocolate refrigerator roll but when my kids were younger we made this every Christmas Eve and this is what they called it and the name stuck. So we still make the Baby Jesus birthday cake ~ well, some years we make it and some years, yours truly forgets to make it.

The chocolate wafers have become elusive recently but I found some and they are EXPENSIVE! At least to me they are ~ almost $5 for a box of boring cookies. All that aside, it’s super easy to make and really good. You do have to let it sit in the refrigerator a bit so the cookies soften up and they will be the same texture as cake. I make mine first thing in the morning for evening dessert.

My Favorite Places

"The thing about eating the Black and White cookie, Elaine, is you want to get some black and some white in each bite. Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate And yet somehow racial harmony eludes us. If people would only look to the cookie all our problems would be solved." - Jerry to Elaine (Seinfeld, Season 5, The Dinner Party)
